I have the same problem. The machine (an ATX PPro, VS440FX)
does not power off, although it did it before. It just prints
"System halted." I have tried /sbin/halt -p and
/sbin/poweroff.

This started happening when I compiled a new init (2.72) with
glibc (2.0.6), so the cause could be either init or glibc. (I
suspect glibc.) The kernel is compiled with "APM Power
Management BIOS Support" and "Power off on shutdown".

Has anybody else seen this problem?
